When Packetbeat joined Elastic around 6 months ago, we had the vision of creating a framework of lightweight shippers, which we call "Beats" to capture all sorts of operational data from your servers and ship it to Logstash and Elasticsearch. Today we are excited to release the first production-ready version of the Beats platform, and the first officially supported Beats: Topbeat, Filebeat and Packetbeat.
- Get Topbeat 1.0.0 and follow Getting started to start monitoring your infrastructure
- Get Filebeat 1.0.0 and follow Getting started to ship your logs to Elasticsearch directly or via Logstash
- Get Packetbeat 1.0.0 and follow Getting started to get visibility into your application traffic on your network
We are doing a webinar about the Beats on December 8th. You can register here.
The Beats platform
Our goal was to build a platform that makes it easy for our community to create new Beats. For this we developed libbeat, the Go library that contains the common parts of all Beats for dealing with common tasks like inserting in bulk into Elasticsearch, securely sending events to Logstash, load-balancing the events to multiple Logstash and Elasticsearch nodes, and sending events in synchronous and asynchronous modes. The libbeat platform also includes mechanisms for detecting when downstream servers are getting overloaded or the network in between is getting congested, so it can reduce the sending rate.
